🚨 New publication in @RISjnl 🌎📚 Very happy to have published this Open Access article with Review of International Studies: “War of Movement: The Political Economy of Conflict Escalation in Colombia, 1990–1998”. The article reinterprets the escalation of Colombia’s civil war, drawing heavily on archival documents and interviews with former FARC commanders, retired military officers, trade union organisers, and business leaders. A special thanks is owed to the interviewees, who made a genuine difference to my understanding of the war and its escalation during the 1990s.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

Incredible that this was caught on film, yet there’s barely any coverage in Western media and the coverage that does exist doesn’t name ISRAEL.

#UnidadInvestigativa @CaracolRadio | Salvatore Mancuso y un testigo acusan a exjefe de seguridad de @DrummondLTDCo de entregar la lista con los nombres de sindicalistas que debían ser asesinados. Mancuso afirmó que autorizó reuniones entre ‘Jorge 40’ y el emisario de la Drummond, James Atkins, para llegar a acuerdos. “Con base en eso se realizaban esas operaciones militares desafortunadas, que cegaron la vida de miles de personas en esa zona” afirmó. @Rafaristizabal @andresGgaitan @BBejaranoG Caracol.com.co

He kidnapped a Head of State in Venezuela. He killed 170 girls in a school. He assassinated a Head of State in Iran. He started a war. He drove up oil prices. He began a genocide in Cuba. The worst president in world history. Donald Trump.

If Cuba is such a flawed society, why try so hard to starve it for nearly seven decades? Why not prove your point by letting it fail on its own? It's honestly pretty impressive that Cuba has navigated an economic embargo for that long and it's still out here giving them hell.

A major report on the UK government's complicity in the Palestinian Genocide was published today Which news organisations have reported on this important story so far today? From what I've seen:

YouTube has now censored both music videos to my songs 'Terrorist?' and 'Obama Nation' after accumulating close to 11 million views. 15 years after their release.

Freedom of speech, assembly and protest in Western liberal “democracies”

Any journalist writing “defensive strikes” without quote marks when describing US bombs dropped on Iran from UK bases…is not a journalist, but a propagandist for war and terrorism

Rubio: “Iran is run by religious fanatics.” The White House right now:

I identified literally hundreds of former Israel lobbyists working in American newsrooms, writing and producing the country's news (including on the Middle East). Read my bombshell investigation here: mintpressnews.com/revealed-the-i…

This is just one trick media use to manufacture consent for war.

Iran is the only independent government left in Middle East That's why it is targeted Rest of them are puppets of Washington, Tel Aviv, and London In 1920s, Lord Curzon hailed these regimes as an "Arab facade" ruled, in reality, by the empire Zero change 100 years later

One word. Multipolarity.

Google handed a British graduate student’s bank and credit card information over to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after he was targeted by the agency for attending a pro-Palestine protest for just five minutes. The tech giant fulfilled a subpoena request from ICE for “a wide array of personal data” on Amandla Thomas-Johnson, an activist and journalist who was studying in the US at Cornell University, The Intercept reported. Thomas-Johnson went into hiding in the college town of Ithaca, upstate New York, in spring last year as Donald Trump’s administration began rounding up foreign students who opposed Israel’s genocide in Gaza. He had briefly attended a 2024 protest against companies supplying weapons to Israel at a Cornell University job fair, which got him banned from campus. As well as financial information, the data requested by ICE included usernames, addresses, a list of any IP masking services, telephone numbers, subscriber numbers or identities, and credit card and bank account numbers. Thomas-Johnson had no opportunity to challenge the subpoena. He believes ICE was planning to monitor and then detain him, but by the time of the subpoena he had already fled to Switzerland. “We need to think very hard about what resistance looks like under these conditions,” he told The Intercept, “where government and big tech know so much about us, can track us, can imprison, can destroy us in a variety of ways.” Google did not respond to a request for comment from the outlet.
